Notes on plant deodorant.
It doesn't stop you sweating — nothing aluminum-free will. It does absorb odor and keep skin dry through a normal day. If you're going to the gym, plan on showering after.
Apply to clean, dry skin. If your skin reddens, switch to the no-baking-soda version (email me, I'll send one).
